      - auto pilot (tap and move slider to redirect B)
      - auto pilot without a lift (R redirect)
      - stairs side step (with B on the stairs, tap behind B and then to the side)
      - Use the three bricks
      - B on one, R on one and tap the other
      - Wait until R starts walking
      - Use the two bricks
      - B on one
      - R facing one
      - tap one
      - Use the metal stops
      - B on one and R on one

      That took lots of concentration, o_O:D!! I didn't know the tricks so had to look at the hints. The coloured blocks mark the perfect positions, but timing is everything, ;)!

      I like the fact that if you miss a move you can go back and try again. It took quite a few goes before I got each move right. I missed using the slider to redirect R after the second corner cut, I thought I might have to restart, but no! I went ahead and tipped the ball, came back down and sorted R out no problem.

      Very enjoyable and educational too, :D:D:D!

      @Jom - Outstanding for you!!!! :) Don't you love recovery / retry levels? I always say, 'What if the player misses? What happens?' If the answers is restart especially if the end is close, then I look for another way. Of course, this isn't always possible but I try. Thanks for playing

      Great title giving the big clue for the level but it still took a lot of thought for each corner. I wasn’t sure for the finish which bot would be bumping who. My B died at the end but looking at the video i see with timing he could have survived. But i am not restarting having had a few due to failed SSS and getting zapped. I used different starting points for the last corner but in effect I think the path was the same. I also had a lengthier method of getting B back down; i autopilot onto R.

      @ridgerunner - The slider at the base of the stairs, where the SSS happens, can be positioned so B will not run around to the zapper side solving that problem. Glad you got it with or without the markers. Thanks for playing. BTW, this level was no easy task to create, lots and lots of tests to get the right angle, timing, move, etc.

      I knew this trick :D I remember this was used in one of gmacpro level so it was easy!

      My way for first getting B on stairs was bad but yours one was good!
      On 2nd Getting B on the lift
      (I used the slider near R) with the help of slider freezing just infront of stairs (After autopilot)
      Anyway good level! (intresting level)

      The last move was good i was kinda confused how to do this now had to watch the video! At last move

      In trick list? Do you mean the same trick? Getting on stairs?

      @HaseebDemon - Thanks for playing. To answer your question, all the corner cutting was auto pilot without a lift as R redirected B. B did need to do an auto pilot off the lift after getting the ball to avoid the zapper.

      Wow! Another mind-stretching lesson, thanks! I couldn't manage without the video - but it was exciting to learn the new trick of bypassing zappers using R's interference with autopilot (what do you call this exactly? Autopilot redirected?) .. and to have it used in several different places in one puzzle. The final one is quite spectacular :p
      Extra ⭐⭐⭐ for teaching me another new trick!
      Thanks :thumbsup:

      @EL797 - Thanks so much for playing my level.
    • Meko Guy
      @trids - Thanks again for the kind words. I'm very happy that you liked the level. The move is an auto pilot which is where B gets redirected but normally with a lift/slider in this case, R is used to block the path. If you look closely, you can see B's eye making the route around R until B makes the final move. You may be happy to note that 'Cut Corners 2' was built on 13 Jul and is 14th in line to be posted.
